An enormous cowboy hat just tossed itself into the Senate election ring. If you look closely, you can see a man inside the hat, who speaks on its behalf.
The hat intends to run for Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema's seat, who won as a Democrat but declared herself as an independent after siding with the MAGA party on multiple issues. Sinema has not confirmed if she plans to run for re-election.
The cowboy hat's campaign promises include "standing up to the woke left" and "securing our border and supporting our law enforcement."
The hat potentially faces tough competition from Arizona's self-appointed Governor Kari Lake, a popular former drag king who has expressed interest in running for the seat.
The man inside the hat is Mark Lamb. He is a former sheriff, a Covid skeptic, a proponent of the Big Lie, and an ultra-MAGA supporter. Interestingly, his favorite animal is the hermit crab.
